“…Neste estudo, a prevalência e severidade de cárie da amostra de crianças assisti das pelo Programa Saúde da Família, foram elevadas em ambos os Distritos Sanitários e maiores aos 5 anos. A meta da OMS para o ano 2000 de uma prevalência inferior a 50,0% aos 5 anos 25 não foi ati ngida, assim como no últi mo inquérito nacional de 2003 1 e em outros estudos internacionais 9,10,13 . Entretanto, uma prevalência de 47,7% foi diagnosti cada no Recife, em crianças de quatro anos assisti das por creches públicas 18 .…”

“…Também, os estudos demonstram que os préescolares não foram benefi ciados pelo declínio de cárie dentária nas mesmas proporções dos escolares de 12 anos [6][7][8] , e os índices ceo-d parecem se manter estáveis ou apontam um aumento da prevalência nos países em desenvolvimento 9,10 . Um panorama da gravidade da doença nessas idades informam variações nas magnitudes desde um ceo-d 0,94, encontrado na Grã-Bretanha 11 , um ceo-d em torno de 3,0 no Brasil 1 , até ceo-d 8,4, em Abu Dhabi nos Emirados Árabes 12 e um ceo-s de 10,2, em Ajman 13 .…”

Objecti ve: To analyze comparati vely the distributi on patt ern of dental caries in preschoolers living in areas assisted by the Family Health Strategy of the city of Recife, PE, in two sanitary districts. Method: An epidemiological survey of dental caries was conducted in 2006 in 2,020 children aged 18-36 months and 5 years enrolled in the Family Health Centers of the Sanitary Districts II and IV of the city of Recife, PE. The dmft index was used as recommended by the World Health Organizati on and the Brazilian Ministry of Health. A probabilisti c sample by conglomerates (families) was used in one stage. It was calculated frequency distributi on, tests for comparison of the means (Student's t-test and ANOVA) and proporti ons (chisquare) with 5.0% signifi cance level, and ponderati on factors for sample representati veness. The analyses were produced by district and by microregions. Results: In both districts, the prevalence and dmft means were high, being 29.7% among children aged 18-36 months and 63.8% among those aged 5 years. Comparing the districts, the dmft ranged from 0.99 to 1.15 (18-36 months) and from 3.01 to 3.65 (5 years). However, the prevalence rati os did not show signifi cant diff erences between districts or ages. Comparing the microregions, the diff erences in caries prevalence and severity occurred only at the age of 5. Conclusion: The caries indicators used in this study revealed the existence of niches of children with worse oral health conditi ons in poor areas with apparent socioeconomic homogeneity, suggesti ng a reorientati on of collecti ve and individual interventi ons in areas/microareas in which higher indices are observed.

“…In all the dental caries studies we have cited for Kenya, the caries experience was <3 dmft/DMFT ( Tables and ). This appears to correspond well with the sugar consumption for Kenya, of <50 g per person, per day, when the findings from previous studies are considered.…”

“…For instance, studies on children with mixed dentition, especially those 6–11 years of age, were sought but it was found that the age group and subgroups studied by different authors at different points in time were not comparable. Studies covering the age group 3–5 years were extracted to provide dental caries data for deciduous teeth and studies covering the 12 years’ age group provided data for permanent teeth. The location of the study sample (rural or urban), authors and year of publication were noted.…”

Sugar consumption and dental caries experience in Kenya

Introduction: There have been claims that dental caries experience and prevalence in Kenya has been increasing as a result of increased sugar consumption. A review of the literature in 1986 failed to link dental caries experience with an increase in gross national sugar consumption. Subsequently, a number of studies were conducted, necessitating further review to examine trends in dental caries experience and to relate this to changes in per capita sugar consumption. Methods: Studies conducted since 1980 for children 3-15 years of age were examined. Dental caries prevalence and experience for 3-5 years' (deciduous teeth) and 12 years' (permanent teeth) age groups were analysed. Calculation of per capita sugar consumption was performed using gross national annual sugar consumption for 1969-2009 national population census years. Results: There was a gradual increase in per capita sugar consumption, from 35.5 g/day in 1969 to 60.8 g/day in 2009. Dental caries experience in deciduous teeth for children 3-5 years of age increased from a decayed, missing and filled teeth/decayed and filled teeth (dmft/dft) index of 1.5 in the 1980s to 2.95 in the 2000s. At 12 years of age, caries experience for permanent teeth increased from a DMFT of 0.2 to a DMFT of 0.92 over the same period. Dental caries prevalence for both deciduous and permanent teeth also increased with time. Conclusion: These observations suggest that dental caries prevalence and experience increased with time, in parallel to an increase in per capita sugar consumption. However, a clearer understanding can be derived from longitudinal studies, based on actual household age-specific sugar consumption and dental caries incidence.

“…Statistics reveal that dental caries prevalence rate in this county is 93.6% among 3-5 year old children and 89.4% among those above the range. [8] reported reduced prevalence rates of 63.5% among 3-5 year old children in Nairobi while [9] reported 59.5% among the same group in Kiambaa constituency, Kiambu County. Mean dmft scores of 1.27 and 2.95 among preschool children in Nairobi have been reported at different studies.…”

Count Regression Models with Application to Caries Experience for Children Attending Lady Northey Dental Clinic in Nairobi

Count regression models were developed to model data with integer outcome variables. These models can be employed to examine occurrence and frequency of occurrence. Four common types of count regression models are applied to caries data among children aged between three and six years attending Lady Northey Dental clinic between September, 2014 and November 2014. These models include Poisson, Negative Binomial (NB), Zero Inflated Poisson (ZIP) and Zero Inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB). The simplest count regression model, Poisson, was fitted first before considering other complex models. However, it did not perform better than its improved counterparts. The NB model proved to be the the simplest model that fits the data well according to Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), and was therefore employed to determine the important predictors of caries experience among the children. Model comparison was performed on the four models by use of AIC. Deviance values for various NB models were compared and the model with the least deviance value was considered to give a subset of best predictors of Early Childhood Caries (ECC). These predictors included age, gender, brushing frequency, feeding habit biscuits, feeding habit jam and highest education of the mother.
